No. 3 February 8, 2018 HOUSE RECORD Second Year of the 165th General Court Calendar and Journal of the 2018 Session State of New Hampshire Web Site Address: www.gencourt.state.nh.us Vol. 40 Concord, N.H. Thursday, February 8, 2018 No. 3X HOUSE JOURNAL NO. 2 (Cont’d) Tuesday, January 9, 2018 Rep. Hinch moved that the House adjourn. Motion adopted. HOUSE JOURNAL NO. 3 Thursday, February 8, 2018 The House assembled at 10:00 a.m., the hour to which it stood adjourned, and was called to order by the Speaker. Prayer was offered by House Chaplain, Reverend Kate Atkinson, Rector of St. Paul’s Church in Concord. Lighten our darkness, O God, when clouds of uncertainty or doubt threaten to envelop us. When we can catch only glimpses of a brighter future, when new possibilities elude us, set us free from the constraints of what we know and guide us into the radiance of what could be. Give us courage, energy, and curiosity; help us to look beyond what is familiar and safe - and open our eyes, our souls, and our minds to the promptings of Your Spirit. You have called us to be Your feet and hands, Your heart and Your voice. We pray that You would lead us to those places that need us most, that You would reach out through us in generosity and care, that You would make us channels of Your compassionate love, and give us words to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Lighten our darkness, O God, that we may be Your light in the world. Representative Craig Moore, member from New Ipswich, led the Pledge of Allegiance.

It is with regret, and sadness, that I must resign my seat in the NH House. Over my four terms, I have had the opportunity to meet and work with many great people, and form many lasting relationships. It was my hope, and intention, to finish this term and not seek re-election in November. However, a strong real estate market in the southern tier has allowed us to liquidate our assets in Salem quicker than anticipated, 2 8 FEBRUARY 2018 HOUSE RECORD leaving me without a domicile in Salem, Rockingham 8, and accelerating our long range plans. It has been my pleasure to serve in this great institution. I always tried to represent my district, my committee, and the NH House with honesty, integrity, and professionalism. I wish you all the best, and thank you for your service to the citizens of NH. Representative Gary S. Azarian Rockingham 8 CONSENT CALENDAR Rep. Hinch moved that the Consent Calendar with the relevant amendments as printed in the day’s House Record be adopted. HB 1293-FN, establishing the complex divorce court within the judicial branch family division, removed by Rep. Rice. HB 1437, relative to tattoos on state law enforcement officers, removed by Rep. Stone. HB 1557-FN, requiring meetings and sessions of committees of the house of representatives to be recorded and made available on the Internet, removed by Rep. McConnell. HB 1649, relative to the determination of mileage for legislators and legislative officers, removed by Rep. Horrigan. Consent Calendar adopted. HB 1341, relative to the definition of child abuse. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Daniel Itse for Children and Family Law. This bill would make the administration of hormone therapy or surgery for gender re-assignment abuse under RSA 169-C:3. It was the intent of the sponsor to make the ad- ministration of such procedures a crime for both parents and physicians. However, RSA 169-C is not a criminal statute and could not be enforced upon physicians. The only potential result would be the removal of an already fragile child from all existing familial support structures. The committee does not believe it is the best interest of children to expand the causes for which the state would separate them from their parents. Vote 13-2. HB 1322, relative to risk-based capital for health maintenance organizations. OUGHT TO PASS. Rep. Edward Butler for Commerce and Consumer Affairs. When this statute was originally adopted in 2000, it combined the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Model Laws for Risk-Based Capital (RBC) and for RBC for Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs). In so doing, HMOs were defined under life and health insurers for the purposes of calculating their RBC reports. The Insurance Department now understands that HMOs should actually use the same formula as Property and Casualty insurers for these calculations, in accordance with the model law for HMOs. This bill makes that correction and also amends the definition of life and/or health insurer to clarify that HMOs use a different formula when it comes to calculating RBC. Vote 16-0. HB 1669-FN, relative to commerce in food in New Hampshire. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Valerie Fraser for Commerce and Consumer Affairs. Although we want as little federal regulatory in- volvement in our NH agriculture as possible, this bill is overbroad and could create more harm than good. Not too long ago the USDA proposed a new regulation that would charge a registration fee for every head of livestock. Luckily that didn’t pass. This legislature has been responsive to the needs of small farmers. Food production licenses are not required for farmers who sell less than $20,000 worth of homestead food products or 20 gallons of raw milk or raw milk products directly from their family farms. Laws have also been adopted to make it easier for small farmers to sell large numbers of poultry and rabbits. This bill didn’t address slaughter regulations. The committee thought it best to recommend that the bill be found Inexpedient to Legislate. Vote 18-0. HB 1357, relative to the delivery of articles to a prisoner in a state or county correctional facility. OUGHT TO PASS. Rep. Larry Gagne for Criminal Justice and Public Safety. This bill permits the commissioner of the department of corrections and the superintendent of a county correctional facility to appoint a designee to manage issues relating to the delivery of prohibited articles to prisoners. This bill will make it easier to process reports of contraband without having to wait for the superintendent to give permission in person. Vote 20-0. HB 1380, relative to unauthorized use of firearms. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Shannon Chandley for Criminal Justice and Public Safety. This bill sought to replace existing local authority from the process by which an individual might seek to gain permission to discharge a firearm in a compact district. Rather than securing written permission from the local chief of police or governing body, a person could, instead, get signatures from all abutting property owners. Such a change raises obvious questions as to how abutters would be identified, who would be responsible for verifying and maintaining the written document, and how often written permission would be required (e.g. before each outing or once a year). The strong, bipartisan majority of the committee agreed that existing law provides for a reasonable determination of public safety with minimal burden to the person seeking to discharge a firearm in a compact district. Vote 17-3. 8 FEBRUARY 2018 HOUSE RECORD 3 HB 1406, relative to canceled carry licenses and evidence of domicile for voting purposes. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Scott Wallace for Criminal Justice and Public Safety. This bill intends to add a concealed carry license to the acceptable forms of proof of domicile for the purpose of voting. There is no need to amend RSA 159:6, I, only RSA 654:12, II (a) needs to be amended to add a concealed carry license to the list of acceptable docu- ments. The fact that RSA 159:6, I was amended last year by SB 12 setting the term of issue for a CCW license to 5 years makes this bill unnecessary. Vote 20-0. HB 1426-FN, requiring persons convicted of nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images to register as a sexual offender. REFER FOR INTERIM STUDY. Rep. John Burt for Criminal Justice and Public Safety. The committee believes that this behavior is unac- ceptable yet does not fall to the level of being placed on the sexual offender list for 10 years. The committee knows current laws dealing with this unacceptable act are sufficient, but will search out penalties to fit the crime. Vote 20-0. HB 1447, relative to the use of video conferencing for arraignments. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. Rep. Beth Rodd for Criminal Justice and Public Safety. This legislation would require mandatory video con- ferencing. This legislation would be impractical and expensive.

  • Governor Sununu, We, the Undersigned
    Governor Sununu, We, the undersigned Democrats in the New Hampshire House, implore you to immediately issue a “stay-at-home” order to slow the spread of COVID-19 in New Hampshire. As our hospitals and the mayors of our largest cities have noted, every day that passes without a stay- at-home directive brings exponential growth to the health risks faced by Granite Staters, and unsustainable pressure on New Hampshire’s healthcare services which will lead to unnecessary loss of life. As you have acknowledged, we likely remain far from the peak of COVID-19 infections in New Hampshire. Many of us own or work at small businesses and understand that ordering non-essential businesses to close is a drastic step that will exacerbate the disruption COVID-19 has already brought to everyday life. However, as we have seen in other countries and other states, taking decisive action will slow the spread of the virus, save lives and allow our economy to rebound stronger and faster. The steps we have taken so far, which include telling people to keep their social gatherings to under 10 people, are simply not enough. Monday’s announcement of the first death from COVID-19 in New Hampshire emphasizes the urgency in our communities to take decisive steps to combat this deadly virus. Closing non- essential businesses and ordering people to stay at home are bold steps critical to that effort. Please join the states across America, including our neighbors Massachusetts and Vermont, that have taken these critical steps to slow the spread of COVID-19.

  • From State Representative Rosemarie Rung
    Town Councilors: I am unable to attend the November 7 meeting, but I want to provide an update, as the bills that I will be sponsoring or co-sponsoring have been signed off and will soon be assigned to a committee to begin the legislative process. I want you to know why I support these bills. Title: requiring food service establishments to establish food allergy awareness procedures. Sponsors: (Prime) Rosemarie Rung, Janice Schmidt, Dan Feltes, Joseph Guthrie, William Marsh, Cam Kenney This bill came at the request of a Merrimack constituent whose family member died from an allergic reaction from food served at a NH restaurant. I worked on this after consultation with the NH Restaurant and Lodging Association and the NH HHS department. It essentially extends new NH food safety food code to restaurants that are not under the state’s authority (i.e., cities that have jurisdiction for restaurant licensing/inspection), will require restaurants to include menu language to instruct patrons to notify the server of any food allergy (required language now warns of raw or undercooked meat), and will allow restaurants to voluntarily be designated “food allergy friendly” if they meet national standards. Title: Establishing a committee to study the labeling of products containing PFAS. Sponsors: (Prime) Rosemarie Rung, Betty Gay, Deborah Hobson Following conversations with Eileen and Sarita about PFAS waste entering the treatment plant from car washes, I talked with Clark Freise about how to control PFAS discharge to municipal systems. He said most users don’t even know PFAS is in the materials they use.

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.
